COOKING AND EATING.

1t has been correctly said that more
people die OF eating than hunger. There
is no doubt but that much sickness re-
suits from the use of improper food, or
eating good food in an improper manner.
In this land of plenty but few need be
without food that will give health of
body. if properly prepared and eaten.
The evil begins in early life, and children
early form their habits which ultimately
make them dyspeptics and hypochondr-
acs. The kitchen and dining-room. there
fore. become the most important parts of
the home, and it would be well for all if
some of the attention given to the parlor
were changed to the kitchen. We are
not so sure but it would be well to have
law that no license to marry be granted
young lady until she can prepare IA
good meal, or TO a young man until he
gives evidence of his ability to furnish
provisions necessary for a good meal.
We fear, however, this would be hard
law for many who marry. \ marriage
ceremony. and servant in the kitchen will
not make happy home.
1t is only of late years that we have
learned the value of oatmeal and cracked
wheat as articles of diet. They now form
large part of our living, and the longer
we use them the more palatable they be-
come We give the following directions
for their preparation, which we think
very good:
The best way to cook oatmeal is ia
take say a cup and half of meal Coarse
and pinch of salt, put it in two-quuart
tin pail, and fill it up with boiling water
put on the cover tight, and boil for an
hour and IA half in kettle half full of
water; serve warm or cold with cream
and sugar. This method will apply to all
farinaceous food, and will prevent burn
ing at the bottom, as well as much trouble
in stirring the meal. 1t is good plan to
steep the meal and salt all night before
cooking.
1t took some time for us to learn tc
| IKE III. Out the longer we use IL the more
agreeable it becomes. Cracked wheat
prepared in about the same way witt
milk and sugar, or butter and sugar, i,
more palatable at first. They should be
used constantly by all persons of seden
tary habits.
Bread made of unbolted flour is alst
good. 1t is rather difficult to make into
light bread, and is generally used al
gems and biscuits. The following direc
tons for gems we suppose good:
Sift two teaspoonfuls of sea foam anC
one of salt through one cup of whea
flour, and mix nearly a quart of Graham
-four with it. Add cold water suflicien
to make a soft batter, and a large table
spoonful of butter melted, and bake in
very hot oven. Have the muffin ring
hot and well buttered when you pour il
the batter. They should be baked in tel
or twelve minutes Exchange.

him out at will, appears to be the
central thought and handspring Oh
action.
Such an idea, though clothed IN
beautiful robes of rhetoric, is mon
strous beyond description. 1t sun
ders every bond of affection, OF
honor, of obligation OF contracts, Oh
right to person or property, ana
makes the earth a pandemonium. 1t
destroys the pleasure OF hope aud
the basis of honorable ambition, and
obliterates all law, human and di-
vine.
With such an idea, by which any
person can become a justifiable
pirate on the property of any other
person, no ships would be built to
sail the seas, no railways to carry the
people with speed and comfort,
no houses erected or orchards
planted or grain sown, or telegraphs
built, or schools, churches, libraries,
universities or manufactures estab-
lished to be destroyed at will by fatal
lists, who declare that they are forced
| to such destruction by an arbitrary
power and have no responsibility oi
their own.
These declarations are made by the
lfatalists in all lands. A few weeks
ago a murderer in Alameda county
in this State, enunciated the same
idea and said he was not responsible
for the crime, he was forced by al
unseen power to commit the deed.
The dynamite throwers of bombs
in San Francisco, in Chicago, in New
York and st. Petersburg have the
same idea which must result in blooc
and suffering to the race.
This belief is worse than war, ol
pestilence, or famine or earthquake
shocks. 1t ruins mankind. 1t ami
hilates all that is good, all that il
great, all that is lovely, all that gives
noble impulses to humanity anC
makes holy lives float as psalms
through the ages.
An intelligent selfishness and al
ownership of property for individual
use is necessity to civilization. II
our schools of learning this PROPOSE
tion has been too much neglected
but should receive careful and wis'
attention.

The Last Bag.

The constitutional limit of the ses-
sion of the Legislature was reached
yesterday. That is, after the lapse
of sixty days the Legislature may
continue in session for an indefinite
period, but no per diem can be drawn
BY the members. The two Houses
will probably keep together till mid
night tomorrow night, and that will
be tie end. Out OF the six hundred
bills presented at this session, but
seven measures, OF general charac-
ter, possessing interest to the great
mass of the people, had been passed
two days ago. A number of routine
bills have become laws, but OF the
great number OF general laws on the
files of the two Houses none will pass
that are antagonized with any degree
of active opposition. The most i'm
portant measure adopted at this ses-
sion is undoubtedly the measure
known as Wright's Irrigation bill.
This law will remand to the counties
the formation Of irrigation districts,
and provide a mode for their govern
ment and rules to control them in the
issue of bonds, etc. 1t is hoped that
this law will do much to solve the ir-
rigation problem. We believe it to
be legislation in the right direction,
and will be put on trial. Measures
Of considerable importance to the
people of this State will find
themselves hopelessly buried in
the files when the hour for
adjournment comes. This has hap
pened session after session ever
since the new constitution went into
effect; and it will continue to happen
as long as the sixty days limit re-
mains in force. 1t is the well-con-
sidered opinion of all who have given
the subject their study, as we'll as Of
all the officers of State who have had
practical experience of the working OF
the sixty-day limit, that the time ought
to be extended. If Mr.. Spurgeon's
amendment to the constitution ex-
tending the time to ninety days were
adopted, a very measurable relief
would be had. Take the present ses-
sion, for instance. No one doubts
that many of the bills now buried in
the files ought to become laws.
With thirty more days of life this
Legislature would have time to prop.
erly consider, amend and pass these
bills. The main work has been done
upon them. They have been thor
oughly digested by the members, and
each one knows exactly about the
course he ought to take with regard
to them. Therefore, these bills are
in the position OF a nearly finished
piece of work which is destined to re.
main in that state because the shop
or factory in which they are being
wrought out cannot be re-opened
The best thought of the State is rap.
idly rising to the propriety OF extend
ing The time OF the session, and peo'
pie are beginning to realize the fact
that it is poor economy on the part
of the State to close the session at the
very time when its labors are about
to bear fruit.
